Module does not load in kernel 5.15, Jetpack 6.2 on Jetson Orin Nano

[6thday]

Jetson Orin Nano Super + Jetpack 6.2 b77 + RTL8922AE
Not working.....I use latest RTW89 and did clean make before install instructions

(Problem during make)

I am not sure if this driver works on a system with kernel 5.15, but obviously your system lacks of the firmware needed.

You can run this command to download it from linux-firmware

$ wget https://web.git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/rtw89/rtw8922a_fw.bin

sha1sum should be 59853a94d0b4a404cd0428800bd27ae4b4a9782a

$ sha1sum  rtw8922a_fw.bin 
59853a94d0b4a404cd0428800bd27ae4b4a9782a  rtw8922a_fw.bin

then copy rtw8922a_fw.bin to /lib/firmware/rtw89
sudo cp -v rtw8922a_fw.bin /lib/firmware/rtw89

reboot or reload the rtw89 driver to see if the driver works.
sudo rmmod rtw_8922ae rtw_8922a rtw89pci rtw89core
sudo modprobe rtw_8922ae

Is the size of the firmware correct?

$ /bin/ls -l /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8922a_fw.bin 
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1537690 Mar 13 20:17 /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8922a_fw.bin

I took a look at code, but I don't know what is wrong.

btw, I just installed the rtw89 driver here in my Arch Linux (kernel: 5.15.178-1-lts515), but it's didn't work with RTL8852BE.
when I ran sudo modprobe rtw_8852be, a network interface doesn't show up and my system almost froze.

The size is correct...same as urs.... I think the driver is not loaded

What is the output of lsmod | grep rtw? Did you remove my rtw89 driver installed a few days ago?

Yes, I did a very clean uninstall from your instructions...

cd rtw89
sudo dkms status
sudo dkms remove rtw89/6.6.66 --all
sudo make uninstall
sudo make uninstall install_fw

$ lsmod | grep rtw

If you see rtw_8922ae, rtw_8922a, rtw89pci and rtw89core when running lsmod, that means the driver is loaded.
I looked at code again, still didn't know why firmware was not recognized by the driver..

1)Could it be because the kernel name is different? 5.15.148-tegra

2)I also tried this driver for my RTL8832CU USB but I uninstalled using their script before trying rtw89, I am not sure if it is related

https://github.com/morrownr/rtl8852cu-20240510

Now there is always a *-network I dont know what it is.... I am not sure if it is from the USB-C etc
